Qualifying Final vs Melbourne, at MCG on Friday 2 September, 7.50pm AEST

[i'm-uninformed2]

Clarke's a good match for Salem, who doesn't have elite speed but is an an elite kick who opens up space for them.

Thanks... Are we not a team of great kicks ? We cant have it both ways , Errol , Chad , Blakey, Jmac , Florent, Paddy , Mills, Buddy , Heeney everyone loves their kicking . If we are that good then bombing it to May should be the least of our worries .... .

Yet numerous times last weekend, mainly the last qtr they took the "long down the line" option. Not necessarily the kickers fault if the team isn't providing a better option. It could have been the shorter break, compared to the Saints, and no one was running to space for the kicker.

Make of this what you will, I was talking to someone in Melbourne's inner sanctum today and his quote was the they would have preferred to play any other team than the Swans.
We've got 'em worried!

They shoulda lost to the Lions then last Friday.

Where is the cunning and guile of the Demons circa 2009 when you need it?

I know several of their supporters who breathed a sigh of relief when GWS knocked us out last year.

I vaguely remember an interview with Goodwin after the finals last year mentioning they were happy to see us eliminated due to the fact we played a style that was similar to theirs and could trouble them. They will not be underestimating us.

And I spoke to some Melbourne-mad friends of mine last night and they said they'd rather play us at the SCG. They're worried about playing us on their home ground!

[Hotpotato]

We will beat Melbourne.

I spoke to some American friends yesterday.

They had no idea what I was talking about.

That's hilarious!

They should be scared of us. I think we're a great chance of beating them.

We will beat Melbourne.

Big call. It wouldn’t surprise me if we did. Or if we lost

Melbourne’s form is hard to judge, particularly because of the two games where they destroyed the Lions. And looked ominous, whereas they’ve looked anything but in other games.

Agree Melbourne have been shaky over the past few months. They did look good against the Lions but the Lions were pathetic that night. We have the team to beat them but we'll have to execute a very smart game plan

I’ve managed to wrangle my work so I’ll be going to the game but trying to book tickets there are only nose bleed seats left.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get better ones or is it close to a sell out? (I’m only looking for 2x)

I suspect there will be a huge presence of Dees’ supporters as they were starved of live finals last year (due to Covid). So nose bleed seats might be all you can get at this stage.
